Program Overview

Master of Science (MSc) in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering

The Master of Science in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering is a two-year graduate program that focuses on developing and optimizing products with improved functionality and extended lifetime. The program enables students to predict, control, and optimize the specific properties of materials and improve industrial process technologies for making advanced product solutions.

Specializations

The study program contains two specializations:

• Materials Engineering
• Manufacturing Engineering When planning courses and structuring the study plan, it is recommended to include both areas to ensure an ideal combination of both materials and manufacturing engineering.

Admission

Admission to the program is possible with a bachelor's degree from Denmark or outside of Denmark.

Curriculum

The MSc is a two-year graduate program with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

Focus of the Program

The program focus is to develop and optimize products with improved functionality and extended lifetime, which require:

• Detailed understanding of the internal structure of materials and how this affects the material properties and performance
• Knowledge of materials degradation mechanisms and how to prevent these
• Awareness of the environmental impact of the production processes
• Mastering advanced processing technologies for manufacturing and post-processing of high-tech products
• Application of digital tools in the design, optimization, and evaluation of materials, products, and production technologies
• Proficiency in designing and optimizing product properties
• Evaluation of quality and performances of products
• Analysis of data obtained in study cases from different industries
